While the Top 14 is on break for three weeks, RC Vannes president Olivier Cloarec and coach Jean-Noël Spitzer took stock of this first block of nine matches. The rest of the season was also discussed, notably returning to the idea of relocating a RC Vannes home match.
Rennes? Nantes? Ultimately, nothing at all: all RCV matches should be played well at La Rabine this season. “If, on the 20th day of the championship, we were kept in the Top 14, I would say yes without hesitation, to try to create a great rugby celebration, assures President Olivier Cloarec. Introducing this sport to supporters who don't have the opportunity to come to Vannes could be quite extraordinary. But we know that it is at home that we have to win matches and points, and that the team is probably more reassured at La Rabine. We undoubtedly have a little more chance of winning matches in our stadium, with our supporters. »

For the Vannes leader, a match outside Vannes “is therefore not current. I'm not saying we won't think about it at some point, but for now, it's not our priority. It’s playing in front of our home crowd and winning home matches. »
“Today, we need to play at La Rabine, at home”
The opinion is the same for coach Jean-Noël Spitzer, even more decided: « For me, it would be a complete mistake to relocate this year. We are not at all ready for that. I think we should keep it in mind perhaps for the future, if all goes well. But today, we need to play at La Rabine, in front of our supporters, at home. » The Bretons' next meeting in front of their home crowd will be November 23, at 9:05 p.m. against Bordeaux-Bègles.
